<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Neal, post: 26758360, member: 43872&quot;]One of the problems with buying fakes for study is that while the genuine coin will have only a few variables, things like weight tolerances and die varieties, the fakes come in dozens or maybe hundreds of varieties, and each one has its own flaws by which it can be told.&nbsp; To truly educate yourself you&#039;d have to buy hundreds of different counterfeits.&nbsp; The best way is to really get to know what is genuine and assume everything else is fake.&nbsp; Few collectors have the time or resources to truly do this well, so the next-best way is to rely on very reputable experts, even knowing they can make mistakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
